In preparation for the new LRC for 2011/2012, I have created this thread with a quote from the LRC Blog...

Goodbye to 2010-2011 LRCSunday, 21 August 2011 11:07

As August comes to a close the old weather pattern is going through a gradual transformation. The old LRC 2010-2011 will still have some identity as the jet stream strengthens and fall approaches, but something rather significant happens between now and October. The old pattern completely goes away and morphs into a brand new weather pattern. This will be happening during the next 30 to 45 days.

I'm hoping this system of lows in the OV isn't the new LRC- we've been high and dry for way too long.

I don't think the new LRC will settle for just that. If you look at the Winter Forecast 2011-2012 Thread, you'll find that there'll be another player in the works. It's something that I have mentioned in that thread that you'll find quite interesting.

That would be what? I must have skimmed past it so please provide a link.

Yeah, pretty much. The still stronger than average -AO and the Moderate to Strong -NAO (East Based) will favor a more Southern, yet stronger and almost Super Moist Clipper (compared to average). This is why North of the Mason-Dixon line is almost a done deal for at least Slightly Above Average snowfall. There could be a couple of clippers that'll go near the Gulf and pick some more Gulf moisture and phase with the STJ early (for the Great Lakes) and late (for inland or the coastal region).
